On March 6th, I saw one of the swing greats, Sam Butera at Florida Atlantic Universtiy. He is with a group called The Wildest! The show that they put on was incredible. It was just like a great Vegas style show. Sam's voice has style. So does his saxophone playing! His sound or style hasn't changed a bit from the 1950's.
On March 13th, I saw Sam and the boys play at a night club in Davie called "City Streets". The show that they put on there was twice as long and 10 times as good! Here, I sat much closer to the band and it made the experience all the better. I got to talk to Sam a few times and got some autographs. I also took some great pictures.
